is it friday yet? Happy Birthday girls.....


Let me start off by saying a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LINDA & BARB !!!!! I LOVE YA'S BOTH.
linda i know i talked to you today & gave you a verbal HB, but it never hurts to hear it again.
ok girls so im slippin here.. sorry i havent been on recently. Back to work, EEEWWWWW. wish i was at home scrappin instead, but when i was home, i didnt do that either. I really really hate not having a dedicated space for my stuff. It's all in my walk in pantry on the shelves & in my xxl & i hate having to search for stuff. I want it all there at my finger tips... I did however finish the class/kit i took at the Birthday Crop of Jules.. it turned out soooo cute & i just love sanding & inking it's so relaxing, messy but relaxing
dh & ds go to estero this weekend for a hockey tournament so i will be home w/ my girls & i plan on scrappin im gonna fill up my dining room table & just leave it out. yeah right. lets see if that happens.
Karen & Donna were supposed to come over & scrap w/ me at my house since the boys would be gone, however since their boys are in travel base ball, i think they will be having games all weekend. We were so trying to get together at each others house to get on a scrappin groove, but it doest look like were off to a good start.
This past weekend they scrapped at michelles store (scrapbook central) in coconut creek, i didnt get to go since dh was out of town on business from monday to friday & when he got home friday night, he left w/ his friend mike to go fishing in cape coral w/ our old neighbor.
Im soooooo tired, I just cant get caught up on my strength & now being back to work is yucky.... first i had driven up to GA to get my girls, my FIL had them in NC for a week & he drove them down to my brothers house... it was a fun drive up alone, listened to my IPOD the whole way. i have never done anything like that before so this was an adventure for me. I didnt get much sleep while i was gone & then when i got home, had a hectic week & then it was the 4th of july & then Karen & I were off on our girls weekend in Tarpon Springs at Jules' house, then home & back to work.... so im still really draggin bad
I really really miss my Hilltop Girls.... they are so addictive & i sure do wish we could move up that way... It would be a blessing just to be able to sell my house.....
Everyone please say a prayre that someone comes & scoops up my home... we really need to downsize....lol especially after our shopping spree in ocala & the birthday crop, then ocala again & rouban rouge....GOOD LORD i still have Seabring, CKU and creepover in october lol i may have to pimp out my husband..... i will get more for his body than my own....lol
well girly girls, i think thats about it for now, it's almost 11pm & my eyes are closing. im laying here on my bed w/ the laptop... god i love this thing & belss the person who created wirless internet...
my love to all

So how many of you had a great time on the 4th of july? I know I did. Every year we spend it with our friends. My friend Joe live & I mean LIVES for his fire work show. He stives to make it better & better each year. Last year he built 1 board with timed fuses, and floated it on a boat out over their lake. This year, he did two and had them all stung together. Let me tell you, this was better than any city show that is out there. I mean the man lives for this & it's awesome. I'de been telling my friends all about it & i dont think the believed me so the two families came along for the ride... THEY WERE BLOWN AWAY... let me show u some pictures.
enjoy

ya know i have to laugh. Karen got to my house about 10am friday morning... so here we go... We stopped at Scrapbook Central on our way out. this is a store that our friend Michelle owns down by us, which is a great store & i dont say that because we know her, i mean it. I spent about 95.00 b-4 i even left the county.... OMG.
Now were off, to Jules' house via Ocala.. now anyone who knows the area, knows that Ocala is above the Tampa area, about 1-1/2 hours out of the way, but since we live so far away, when we get to travel up that way, going to hobby lobby and griffins is a must for us since the stores down by us really bite bad. needless to say, I spend some more $$ there as well. We finally got to Jules sometime after 9:30. Im not even sure what time we went to bed, we sat up talking for quite a while.
Saturday was a hoot. we all met up at RubanRouge. HOW MUCH DAMAGE CAN THE HILLTOP GIRLS DO? ha lots & lots... we had a blast.. we shopped, we laughed, we shopped & terrorized 2 small obnoxious boys... gosh i cant stand parents who DO NOT CONTROLL THEIR KIDS !..... these 2 brats ran around the store for quite some time, and i think each of us at one time or another scolded them.
Thanks to Michele, I am now a blogger, Thanks Michele, your the bomb and the queen of patience since im new to this.. So here I am trying to post and add pictures. sorry girls no hiney shots this time.. all clothing remained on.
Im sure the other girls will post about how much fun we had at Jules', I for one want to thank Jules & her wonderful husband Gene our Cabana Man for a GREAT weekend.
well thats it for tonight, im pooped after our long drive home. it was long, Karen totally kicked my a** at punch buggie for the third time this weekend. geesh
Well to all my Hilltop girls. We love ya, thanks for including us in this wonderful weekend
over & out
